That Flying fuck.

Hullo.

You might be wondering, "Oi, Boy, where the fuck have you been?"

Well. . . I started writing another fanfic. I'm not going to tell you anything about it, other than that I'm not going to start posting it until I have at least fifty chapters.

So yeah, enjoy the new chap.

Sirius decided to stretch his legs during the team selection and left the commentary booth. The Wizard looked at the floor plan to find something interesting but ended up wanting to look at the show from the point of view of the average viewer. So he walked towards the exit to the seats next to the stadium.

A little fact about the stadium in U.A. - it was the same fucking labyrinth as the school itself. Some corridors were looped, some led to dead ends, and some just didn't make any sense. Sirius could've chalked it up to the stadium's poor layout, but he knew Nezu all too well. The rodent most likely made the plans for the building himself with some idea in mind. Sirius could only pray that it couldn't turn into a killer robot.

But he was still surprised that he got lost. After so many years at Hogwarts, he was able to learn to memorize strange layouts. Something that helped him in one of his lifetimes later when he started the Auror.

To be honest, his memory situation was very strange. On the one hand, he remembers that Pride, and to some extent Envy and Gluttony did, but he did not think of himself as a monster created from the lives of other people, - he took the name Selim Bradley out of respect for the woman he called a mother, nothing more, nothing less - but he also had memories of two lives as Harry Potter. One where he died at 12, and another when he got shot in the back of the head.

God, he was probably the craziest Black after Bellatrix.

But back to the problem of not being able to find a way out: Sirius was a little late and came to the stadium when all the teams were formed.

Most of the students formed teams with people they knew, which means the teams were divided into classes. But there were also several different class teams on the field, considering the teams Izuku and Shinso were on.

Izuku was one of the "horses" along with Ochako and Gin, their "rider" being Mei who occasionally let out a crazy laugh looking at the amount of Support Gear they could use. Honestly, Sirius expected that both girls would show their maximum in the first two competitions, but seeing that not all inventions were used in this team, the suspicion began to close to him that both of them would go to the final. Given the million points on Mei's head, it was entirely possible.

Shinso took Tokoyami, Shiozaki, and Monoma into his team. How Monoma agreed to this, Sirius had no idea, and from what he had seen so far, Shinso didn't use his Quirk in this trail - round, he reminds himself. He jokingly called the Quirk Imperio, and Shinso didn't know how to react to that.

Of course, no one but a few individuals understood the joke, although when Sirius spoke the name of Spell in class, Yaoyorozu looked thoughtful. He wasn't sure why she was thoughtful, but he could guess: either she knew Latin, or-

<I'm sorry for such a long wait, my dear readers!> <What? Aren't they listen-> <Team Selection Completed! So get ready for an epic battle, listeners!>

Sirius decided to ignore whatever the fuck that was, and cast Sonorus on himself.

<Quite an interesting choice of teams.> He said, drawing attention to himself. <To be honest, I thought classes 1-A and 1-B would not cooperate. Who knew?>

<It is logical to look for allies in different circles. Those who refuse to work with others simply because of rank or prejudice are doomed to fail.>

Shota's voice was as tired as it had been five minutes ago, but Sirius caught a note of interest in his colleague's short speech. If earlier Sirius had doubts that Aizawa would take Shinso under his wing, now they have completely disappeared.

"All teams ready?!" Nemuri shouted, cracking her whip. Various versions of agreement were heard in response. "Great! Start!"

If the first round began with chaos, this one began with "holy fuck, what's happining?" Almost every team was looking to take the million-point headband, so Team Hatsume was forced to defend themselves. Uraraka removed the weight of her team members and Izuku kicked the ground - Sirius noticed the dark-green aura that flowed after the teen's movements - and all four of them flew into the air, leaving a crater and pieces of concrete in their wake.

Shinso's team was much more secretive than the others, which was not difficult given that all the attention was focused on others. Apparently, Monoma copied Brainwashing and both of them "persuaded" others to give up their bandages. At least it seemed that way because it was only the beginning of the round, and Shinso didn't want to be the target. So they worked slowly.

To Sirius' surprise, Tetsutetsu and Kirishima were on the same team with Tsuyu as the rider. It was a bit of an odd decision, but who was Sirius to judge? The two tough guys had perfect protection, and Tsuyu was fast enough to keep the headbands secure.

Todoroki, Iida, Yaoyorozu, and Kaminari were an insanely strong team. Given that Todoroki and Yaoyorozu were among the best in his class, their strategy was obviously good enough to secure their place in the finals. As long as they don't do anything too risky, of course.

Sirius looked at his students in silence, Luna and Hitoshi's comments were enough for the crowd, even if Luna was confused the fuck out of people. So when hero number three, Hawks, appeared to the left of the Wizard, Sonorus had already lost its power.

Hawks took off in the rankings as fast as he usually did. In just a few years, the Hero took third place with the help of his charisma and versatile Quirk. The guy was not even twenty-five, and he was already considered one of the strongest Heroes in Japan. Even the fact that no one knew his real name did not stop him, it only added a mystery to his persona.

Sirius knew his name, Hawks was no mystery to him. He knew that the Hero was just a dog on a leash with the Hero Commission, and he knew that Keigo Takami hated taking orders from the Commission. So when the blonde with red wings on his back approached Sirius, he decided to find out who the visit was from. Keigo or Hawks?

"Yo, Black Sirius, right? How's life?"

Hawks then. With a slight movement of his hand that came with years of practice, Sirius waved his wand and a field appeared around the two men that blocked sounds from either direction. The hero immediately tensed but did not show that something was wrong.

"I was fine until the Commission decided to send their agent to me. Don't they have a little more inconspicuous people?"

Hawks shrugged and leaned on the railing to get a better view of the stadium match.

"Well, of course, there is. But they thought even Salazar Slytherin wouldn't kill Hero number three in front of millions of people. I doubt you're that stupid."

Sirius hummed back and twirled the Holly Wand between his fingers.

"I can. But then I'll have too many problems. I'd rather Nezu didn't have to fire me for killing a Hero. Anyway, do you have anything to say? If you just came to know my character, then congratulations. You found out that I bastard."

Hawks snorted and rolled his eyes, but he frowned and touched his left ear a couple of times.

"You disabled my transmitter."

"Yeah, young and bothered, how did you guess? All tech within a five-meter radius is dead. So you can say that the Commissioner's wife is a whore and he will never hear it."

This time, Hawks laughed out loud, nearly falling over the railing into the stadium.

"Wow! He'd be pissed if he heard that! But yes, you're right. The commission wants to look at your character to either recruit you or plan your death. I just came to find myself an intern. That bird-headed guy has an interesting Quirk."

"That's Tokoyami and Dark Shadow. They're cool if you remember that they're two different entities. Sentient Quirk you see."

Hawks nodded and plopped his head on his palm.

"I haven't seen one like this in a long time, it's rare these days. I like the kid already, although that might be because he's part bird."

For a couple of minutes, they just watched as teens ran after Hatsume's team like headless chickens. But they simply jumped from place to place, avoiding attacks in the air or blocking them completely. It was a beautiful dance with a higher chance of death than reasonable people would consider acceptable. But then again, Sirius was taught at Hogwarts, so it seemed like a normal Thursday to him.

". . . I can get you off the hook, you know."

Hawks looked towards Sirius with furrowed brows.

"What do you mean?"

"I can... deal with the corruption in the Hero Commission and the unethical projects they run. You will be free from their control and continue to do what you think is right, I will enjoy the destruction of a couple of freaks and everyone will be happy."

Hawks did not answer for a long time but finally decided to ask the main question that took up almost all the space in his head.

"Why didn't you do it sooner if you claim you can do it now?"

"The rat said it wouldn't be very wise." Without a mole in high place was left unsaid.

Hawks- no, Keigo nodded and rolled his shoulders.

"I'll think about it."

The hero turned to the exit and left Sirius to put down the Ward he had placed in a hurry. There were only a few minutes left until the end of the event, and he was not going to waste them.

<Wow! Hatsume uses the explosion of her invention to blind the opposing teams!>

Sirius snorted. 'Of course, she did.'
